Finally had a chance to get the beast wet over the weekend and can now share my thoughts, well stoke actually.
The Smik Hipster Twin has definitely lived up to the hype. This board is stable for its size (7'7" long at 28" wide at 93 litres), glides really well, accelerates fast and is really manoeuvrable.
Moreover, the build quality and overall finish of the product is exceptional.
If I had to morph 2 boards in to one that I have owned, then it would be the 7'6" JP Pro and 7'2" JP Slate. It takes the best of both of these boards and just mashes them into one, in my opinion. It surfs as good if not a little better when compared to the 7'6" JP Pro and has the glide, acceleration and stability of the Slate.
If you have a chance to ride one of these Smik's then do yourself a favour. I think Scotty is on to something here

P.S. the graphics on this board are killer and the colours really pop in the sun. I had at least 2 comments regarding the design before I even got it into the water!!!
